Vision Facts - Food for Eyes

Carrots

Beta-carotene is a major ingredient in carrots. It helps to reduce the chances of macular degeneration and cataract.

Leafy Vegetables

Dark green veggies such as lettuce, spinach or collard green contain lutein, which prevents cell damage. So put another leaf in your burger.
